Why top 6 and top 9 in green?
Like the points left for others to gain won't be enough to push them out...
I wonder your personal opinion, how many Chinese women will actually participate in the finals?
By analogy with last year’s finale ....
By wining Grand finals you earn a lot of money, so the competition should be high, although there were many Times in the past china did not attend at all.
Of course this year is much different because most of players fight for olympic qualification. But also participating in every tournament is not that good. Many players are tired and need more rest. Some of them started to loosing even in top form (xu xin, sun yingsha, Chen meng).
I personally thing china after this year will take bigger break, but nobody knows if they participate in grand finals or not and how many of them will go.
Each player has unique style so it is always better not to play a lot to let your opponents get used to your style.
it could mean 7 chinese male players (I think 6 because MA Long should be not in because of injury)
and 11 female chinese players (I think 10 because DING Ning is injured) !
EDIT
oops make it 6 chinese players (I think 5 because MA Long should be not in because of injury)
BECAUSE WANG Chuqin has just been suspended for 3 months
